To combat the more and more dense layer of dead satellites and miscellaneous area scrap that square measure enshrouding our planet, no plan — nets, lassos, even trajectory gas clouds — looks too far-fetched to avoid. Now, a global team of analysisers semiconductor diode by Japan’s Riken research institute has recommend what is also the foremost bold conceive to date. They propose blasting associate calculable three,000 heaps of area junk out of orbit with a fiber optic optical device mounted on the International artificial satellite.

Their set up is straight-forward, as according by Engadget. The analysis team 1st desires to adapt the EUSO’s (Extreme Universe area Observatory) infrared telescope to trace chunks of area scrap moving round the globe at terribly high speeds. Then they propose employing a fiber optic will optical de...
